[Eating and Drinking w/paralyzed vocal chord]

Good Morning!

I had to respond to this immediately, because my boyfriend has the same exact problem!

What has worked for us:

• Giving him 6 meals- smaller portions seem less overwhelming
• Play relaxing music to create a comfortable environment 
• Stick to dishes that they truly love on the days that they loose appetite
• Make the food anyways when they refuse, just give them a small portion and encourage them slowly to eat
• Juice 3'xs a day- Kale/Spinach/Dandelions/Cucumber/Lemon/ Green Apples
• Taking cannibis to increase appetite
• Create an easy eating schedule and stick with it 
• Making a variety of puree soups so that it's easier to eat without choking

• Zofran has really helped my boyfriend with the nausea feel better

I have made that a couple of times, it was easy and delicious.

I really hope this helps you. You're not alone in this! You will figure it out. 

Best,

Hope
